On Saturday, the number of people over 75 with extreme underlying health problems died in Norway since taking vaccines for coronavirus (Covid-19) disease increased to 29. The Scandinavian country reported the Deaths, which has inoculated more than 25,000 individuals since the vaccination drive started on December 27 last year.
The age group to be in the danger zone:
The age group believed to be in the hazard zone earlier was beyond 80. Still, the new six fatalities on Saturday further reduced it to 75 and raised concerns about which groups to address in the national inoculation project.
This is what we are acquainted with so far:
– According to the Norwegian Medicines Agency, the Covid-19 vaccine developed by Pfizer and BioNTech is the only one available in Norway, and all fatalities are seen to be related to it (NMA).
– The NMA reported to Bloomberg news agency and reported that while most individuals have encountered the predicted side effects of the vaccine, 13 casualties have been reported as well as another 16 are being investigated for causing it.
“Thirteen deaths have been assessed, and that we are conscious of 16 more deaths currently being assessed,” the Agency stated, adding that all recorded deaths are linked to “older people with severe basic disabilities.”
– Nausea, as well as vomiting fever, local injection site reactions, and a deterioration of their underlying condition, are also the side effects that are observed in many other people.
The vaccine may have minimal or no benefit for those with a very small remaining life span, as per the Norwegian Institute of Public Health (NIPH).
Also, relatively mild vaccine side effects may have significant implications for those with the most extreme frailties, it said.
– Pfizer, together with BioNTech as well as NIPH, has said it is investigating the deaths and also the Agency has noticed that “the number of accidents so far is not concerning and is in keeping with expectations
– However, Norway did not say that younger, healthier persons should avoid getting vaccinated.
